Packaging Panels and Industrial Sheets with Slimbox

Shipping panels and industrial sheets presents unique challenges. These items are often bulky, fragile, and irregularly shaped, demanding specialized packaging to ensure they arrive safely. Traditional packaging methods can lead to damage, inefficiency, and excessive waste. Slimbox provides an efficient and sustainable solution tailored to meet the needs of every business.


Whether you're shipping flat panels or long industrial sheets, the packaging you'll make with your Slimbox ensures streamlined protection, efficiency, and minimal waste.


Key challenges in packaging panels

Handling panels demands a specific approach. Common challenges include:

  • Flat but Fragile: Panels may appear sturdy but are often prone to scratches or dents. We know for example that it's often the corners or sides of the panels/sheets that are the most vulnerable.

  • Varying Dimensions: From small glass panels to large metal sheets, each requires a different packaging solution with different dimensions or a different box type.

  • Efficiency: Packaging panels or sheets can be quite time consuming for packers

  • Material Waste: Standard packaging often uses excessive materials, leading to inefficiencies.


Protective corners can be integrated into this design to shield the edges from damage, and the box can be easily closed using tape, glue, or strapping, providing both security and flexibility.


A solution for every panel

At Slimbox, we provide an efficient, adaptable packaging solution for all types of panels, ensuring perfect protection with minimal waste.


In this video, youā€™ll see how our custom packaging is designed to fit various panel sizes while maintaining efficiency in both materials and labor. Protective corners can be easily integrated into the packaging, giving your panels extra stability and ensuring they stay in perfect condition throughout transit. Watch the video below to see Slimbox's versatility in action.


Different ways of packaging panels with your Slimbox

Key challenges in packaging industrial sheets


While panels are primarily flat, industrial sheets introduce new complexities:

  • Extended Lengths: Longer sheets require specific packaging designs to cover the entire surface without compromising protection.

  • Fragility: Even large sheets are susceptible to bending, scratches, or other types of damage without the right support.

  • Transportation Efficiency: Overpacking can result in wasted space and increased shipping costs.


Slimbox leverages designs like the FEFCO 400 to ensure efficiency when packaging long industrial sheets. This method offers tailored protection, ensuring your items are securely packed without the waste that often accompanies traditional methods.

In the video, youā€™ll see how we use custom-cut packaging to ensure a perfect fit for long industrial sheets.
